In te Domine
Author: J. H. Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: My Lord my God is all distresse Lyrics: 1 My Lord my God in all distresse,
my hope is whole, in thee:
Then let no shame my souel oppresse,
nor once take hold on me.
2 As thou art just defend me Lord,
and rid me out of dread:
Give eare and to my suit accord,
and send me help at need,
3 Be thou my rock, to whom I may
for aid all times resort:
Thy promise is to help alway,
thou art my fence and fort.
4 Save me, my God, from, winked men,
and from their strength and power;
From folk unjust, and eke from them
that cruelly devoure.
5 Thou art my stay whereon I trust,
thou, Lord of hoasts art he:
Yea from my youth I had a lust.
still to depend on thee:
6 Thou hast me kept even from my birth,
and I through thee was born:
Wherefore I will thee praise with mirth
both evening and at morn.
7 As to a monster seldome seen,
much folk about me throng:
But thou art now and still hast been
my fence and aid so strong.
8 Wherefore my mouth no time shall lack
thy glory and thy praise:
And eke my tongue shall not be slack
To honour thee alwaiess.
9 Refuse me not O Lord, I say,
when age my limbs doth take:
And when my strength doth wast away,
do not my soule forsake.
10 Among themselves my foes enquire
to take me through deceit.
And they against me do conspire.
that for my soule laid wait.
The second Part:
11 Lay hand and take him now they said
for God from him is gone:
Dispatch him quite, for to his aid.
(I wis) there cometh none.
12 Do not absent thy selfe away,
O Lord when need shall be:
But that in time of griefe thou may
in hast give help to me.
13 With shame confound and overthrow
all those that seek my life:
Oppresse them with rebuke also,
that faine would work me strife.
14 But I will patiently abide
thy help at all assayes:
Still more and more, each time and tide,
I will set forth thy praise.
15 My mouth thy justice shall record,
that daily help doth send:
For of thy benefits O Lord,
I know no count nor end.
16 Yet will I go and seek forth one,
with thy good help O God,
The saving health of thee alone,
to shew and set abroad.
17 For of my youth thou tookst the care,
and dost instruct me still:
Therefore thy wonders to declare
I have great mind and will.
18 And as in youth from wanton rage,
thou didst me keep and stay:
Forsake me not unto mine age,
and till my head be gray.
The third Part:
19 That I thy strength & might may shew
to them that now be here:
And that our seed thy power may know
Hereafter many a yeare.
20 O Lord thy justice doth exceed,
thy doings all may see:
Thy works are wonderfull indeed,
O who is like to thee?
21 Thou mad'st me feele affliction sore,
and yet thou didst me save:
Yea thou didst help and me restore,
and tookst me from the grave.
22 And thou mine honour dost increase,
my dignity maintaine:
Yea thou dost make all griefe to cease,
and comfortst me againe.
23 Therefore thy faithfulnesse to praise,
I will with violl sing,
My harp shall sound thy laud alwaies,
O Israels ho1y King.
24 My mouth will joy with pleasant voice
when I shall sing to thee:
And eke my soule will much rejoyce
for thou hast set me free.
25 My tongue thy uprightness shall sound,
and speak it daily still:
For griefe and shame do them confound,
that seek to work me ill. Scripture: Psalm 71
In te Domine
Quam dilecta
Author: J. H. Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: How pleasant is thy dwelling place! Lyrics: 1 How pleasant is thy dwelling place!
O Lord of hoasts to me!
The Tabernacles of thy grace,
how pleasant Lord they be!
2 My soule doth long full sore to go
into thy courts abroad:
My heart doth lust, my flesh also,
is thee the living God.
3 The sparrowes find a roome to rest,
and save themselves from wrong:
The eke the swallow hath a nest,
wherein to keep her young.
4 These birds full nigh thine Altar may
have place to sit and sing:
O Lord of hoasts, thou art O sau.
my God and eke my King.
5 O they be blessed that may dwell
within thy house alwaies
For they all times thy facts do tell,
and ever give thee praise.
6 Yea happy sure likewise are they
whose stay and strength thou art:
Which to thy house do mind the way,
And seek it in their heart.
7 As they go through the vale of teares,
they dig up fountaines still:
That as a spring it all appearse,
and thou their pits dost fill.
8 From strength to strength they go full fast,
no faintnesse there shall be:
And so the God of gods at last
in Sion they do see.
9 O Lord of hoasts to me give heed,
and heare when I do pray:
And let it through thine eares proceed,
O Jacob's God, I say.
10 O Lord our shield, of thy good grace,
regard, and so draw neare:
Regard, I say, behold the face
of thine anointed deare.
11 For why? within thy Courts one day
is better to abide,
Than other where to keep or stay,
a thousand daies beside.
12 Much rather had I keep a doore
within the house of God,
Than in the tents of wickednesse
to settle my abode.
13 For God the Lord light and defence,
will grace and worship give:
And no good thing will he with-hold
from them that purely live.
14 O Lord of hoasts that man is blest,
and happy sure is he,
That is perswaded in his brest,
to trust all times in thee.
Scripture: Psalm 84
Quam dilecta
Domine Deus
Author: J. H. Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Lord God of health the hope and stay Lyrics: 1 Lord God of health the hope and stay
thou art alone to me:
I call and cry throughout the day,
and all the night to thee.
2 O let my prayer soone ascend
unto thy sight on hie:
Incline thine eare, O Lord attend,
and hearken to my cry.
3 For why? with woe my heart is fill'd,
and doth in trouble dwell:
My life and breath almost doth yield,
and draweth nigh to hell.
4 I am esteem'd as one of them
that in the pit do fall
And made as one among those men
that have no strength at all.
5 As one among the dead, and free
from things that here remaine
It were more ease for me to be
with them the which are slaine.
6 As those that lie in grave, I say,
whom thou hast cleane forgot:
The which thy hand hath cut away,
and thou regard'st them not.
7 Yea like to one shut up full sure
within the lowest pit,
In places dark and all obscure,
and in the depth of it.
8 Thine anger and thy wrath likewise
full sore on me do lie:
And all thy stormes against me rise,
my soul to vexe and trie.
9 Thou putst my friends far off from me,
and mak'st them hate me sore:
I am shut up in prison fast,
and can come forth no more.
10 My sight doth faile through grief and wo,
I call to thee, O God:
Throughout the day my hands also
to thee I stretch abroad.
The second Part:
11 Dost thou unto the dead declare
thy wondrous works of fame?
Shall dead to life again repaire,
and praise thee for the same?
12 Or shall thy loving kindnesse Lord,
be preached in the grave?
Or shall with them that are destroid
thy truth her honour have?
13 Shall they that lie in dark full low,
of all thy wonders wot?
Or there shall they thy justice know,
where all things are forgot?
14 But I O Lord, to thee alwaies
do cry and call apace:
My prayer eke ere it be day,
shall come before thy face.
15 Why dost thou Lord abhorre my soule
in griefe that seeketh thee?
And now, O Lord, why dost thou hide
thy face away from me?
16 I am afflicted dying still,
from youth this many a yeare:
Thy terrors which do vese me ill,
with troubled mind I beare.
17 The furies of thy wrathfull rage
full sore upon me fall:
Thy terrors eke do not asswage,
but me oppresse withall.
18 All day they compasse me about,
as waters at the tide:
And all at once with streams full stout,
beset me on each side.
19 Thou settest far from me my friends,
and lovers every one:
Yea and minr old acquaintance all
out of my sight are gone. Scripture: Psalm 87
Domine Deus
Domine refugium
Author: J. H. Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Thou Lord hast been our sure defence Lyrics: 1 Lord, hast been our sure defence,
our place of ease and rest:
In all times past, yea so long since,
as cannot be exprest.
2 Ere there was made mountaine or hill,
the earth and world abroad:
From age to age, and alwaies still
for ever thou art God.
3 Thou grindest man through grief and paine
to dust or clay, and then,
And then thou saist againe returne,
againe ye sonnes of men.
4 The lasting of a thousand yeares,
what is it in thy sight?
As yesterday it doth appeare,
or as a watch by night.
5 So soone as thou dost scatter them,
then is their life and trade
All as asleepe, and like the grasse,
whose beauty soon doth fade.
6 Which in the morning shines full bright
but fadeth by and by:
And is cut down ere it be night,
all withered, dead, and drie.
7 For through thine anger we consume,
our might is much decaid:
And of thy fervent wrath and fume
we are full sore afraid.
8 The wicked works that we have wrought
thou setst before thine eye:
Our privy faults, yea, eke our thoughts
thy countenance doth spie.
9 For through thy wrath our daies do wast,
thereof doth nought remaine:
Our yeares consume as words or blsts,
and are not cal'd againe.
10 Our time is threescore yeares and ten,
That we do live on mold:
If one see fourscore, surely then,
we count him wondrous old.
The second Part:
11 Yet of this time the strength and chief
the which we count upon,
Is nothing els but painefull griefe,
and we as blasts are gone.
12 Who once doth know what strength is there
what might thine anger hath:
Or in his heart who doth thee feare
according to thy wrath?
13 Instruct us Lord to know and try,
how long our daies remaine:
That then we may our hearts apply,
true wisdome to attaine.
14 Returne, O Lord, how long wilt thou
forth on thy wrath proceed?
Shew favour to thy servants now,
and help them at their need.
15 Refresh us with thy mercy soone,
then shall we joyful be,
All times so long as life doth last,
in heart rejoyce will we.
16 As thou hast plagued us before,
now also make us glad:
And for the yeares wherein full sore
affliction we have had.
17 O let thy work and power appeare,
and on thy servants light:
And shew unto thy children deare,
thy glory and thy might.
18 Lord, let thy grace and glory stand
on us thy servants thus:
Confirme the works we take in hand,
Lord prosper them to us.
Scripture: Psalm 90
Domine refugium
Dominus regnavit
Author: J. H. Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: The Lord as King aloft doth raigne Lyrics: 1 The Lord as King aloft doth raigne,
with glory goodly dight:
And he to shew his strength most maine,
hath girt himselfe with might.
2 The Lord likewise the earth hath made,
and shaped it so sure,
No might can make it move or fade,
at stay it doth endure.
3 Ere that the world was made or wrought
thy seat was set before:
Beyond all time that can be thought,
thou hast been evermore.
4 The floods, O Lord, the floods do rise,
they roare and make a noise:
The floods (I say) did enterprise,
and lifted up their voice.
5 Yea, though the storms arise in sight
though seas do rage and swell:
The Lord is strong and more of might,
for he on high doth dwell.
6 And look what promise he doth make,
his houshold to defend:
For just and true they shall intake,
all times without an end. Scripture: Psalm 93
Dominus regnavit
Deus ultionum
Author: J. H. Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: O Lord thou dost revenge all wrong Lyrics: 1 O Lord,thou dost revenge all wrong,
that office longs to thee:
Sith vengeance doth to thee belong,
declare that all may see.
2 Set forth thy selfe, for thou of right
the earth doth judge and guide:
Reward the proud and men of might
according to their pride.
3 How long shall wicked men beare sway
with lifting up their voice?
How long shall wicked men, I say,
thus triumph and rejoyce?
4 How long shall they with brags burst out,
and proudly prate their fill?
Shall they rejoyce that be so stout,
whose works are ever ill?
5 Thy flock, O Lord, thine heritage
they spoile and vexe full sore:
Against thy people they do rage
still daily more and more.
6 The widowes which are comfortlesse,
and strangers they destroy:
They slay the children fatherlesse,
and none doth put them by.
7 And when they take these things in hand,
this talk they have of thee:
Can Jacob's God this understand?
tush, no, he cannot see.
8 O folk unwise, and people rude,
some knowledge now discerne,
Ye fooles among the multitude,
at length begin to learne.
9 The Lord who made the eare of man,
he needs of right must heare:
He made the eye, all things must then
before his sight appeare.
10 The Lord doth all the world correct,
and make them understand:
Shall he not then your deeds detect?
how can ye scape his hand?
The second Part:
11 The Lord doth know the thoughts of man,
his heart he sees full plaine:
The Lord (I say) mans thoughts doth scan,
and findeth them but vaine.
12 But Lord, that man is happy sure,
whom thou dost keep in awe:
And through correction dost procure
to teach him in thy Law.
13 Whereby he shall in quiet rest
in time of trouble sit:
When wicked men shall be supprest,
and fall into the pit.
14 For sure, the Lord will not refuse
his people for to take:
His heritage whom he did chuse,
he will no time forsake.
15 Untill that judgement be decreed
to justice to convert:
That all may follow her with speed,
that are of upright heart.
16 But who upon my part will stand,
against the cursed traine?
Or who shall rid me from their hand
that wicked works maintaine?
17 Except the Lord had been mine aid
mine enemies to repell:
My soul and life had now been laid
almost as low as hell.
18 When I did say, my foot did slide,
I now am like to fall:
Thy goodnesse Lord did so provide,
to stay me up withall.
19 When with my selfe I mused much,
and could no comfort find,
Then Lord thy goodnesse did me touch,
and that did ease my mind.
20 Wilt thou inhaunt thy self, and draw
with wicked men to sit?
Which with pretence instead of law,
much mischiefe do commit.
21 For they consult against the life
of righteous men and good:
And in their counsels they are rife,
to shed the guiltlesse bloud.
22 But yet the Lord he is to me
a strong defence or lock:
He is my God to whom I flie,
he is my strength and rock.
23 And he shall cause their mischiefs al
themselves for to annoy:
And in their malice they shall fall,
our God shall them destroy.
Scripture: Psalm 94
Deus ultionum
Dominus regnavit
Author: J. H. Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: The Lord doth raign, wherat the earth Lyrics: 1 The Lord doth raign, whereat the earth
may joy with pleasant voice:
And eke the Isles with joyfull mirth
may triumph and rejoyce.
2 Both clouds and darknesse eke do swell
and round about him beate:
Yea right and justice ever dwell
and bide about his seat.
3 Yea fire and heat it once do run,
and go before his face:
Which shall his foes and enemies burn
abroad in every place.
4 His lightnings eke full bright did blaze
and to the world appeare:
Whereat the earth did look and gaze,
with dread and deadly feare.
5 The hils like waxe did melt in sight
and presence of the Lord:
They fled before that Rulers might,
which guideth all the world.
6 The heavens eke declare and show
his justice all abroad:
That all the world may see and know
the glory of our God.
7 Confusion sure shall come to such
as worship idols vaine:
And eke to those that glory much,
dumbe pictures to maintaine.
8 For all the idols of the world
which they their gods do call:
Shall feel the power of the Lord,
and down to him shall fall.
9 With joy shall Sion heare this thing,
and Judah shall rejoyce;
For at thy judgements they shall sing,
and make a pleasant noise.
10 That thou O Lord art set on high
in all the earth abroad:
And art exalted wondrously
above each other god.
11 All ye that feare the Lord do this,
hate all things that are ill:
For he doth save the soules of his
from such as would them spill.
12 And light doth spring up to the just,
with pleasure for his part:
Great joy with gladnesse, mirht, and lust,
to them of upright heart.
13 Ye righteous in the Lord rejoyce,
his holiness proclaime:
Be thankfull eke with heart and voice,
be mindfull of the same. Scripture: Psalm 97
Dominus regnavit
Dominus regnavit
Author: J. H. Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: The Lord doth raigne, although at it Lyrics: 1 The Lord doth raigne, although at it
the people rage full sore:
Yea he on Cherubins doth sit,
though all the world do roare.
2 The Lord that doth in Sion dwell,
is high and wondrous great:
Above all folk he doth excell,
and he aloft is set.
3 Let all men praise thy mighty Name,
for it is fearefull sure:
And let them magnifie the same,
that holy is and pure.
4 The princely power of our King
doth love judgement and right:
Thou rightly rulest every thing
in Jacob through thy might.
5 To praise the Lord our God devise,
all honour to him do:
Before his footstoole worship him,
for he is holy too.
6 Moses, Aaron, and Samuel,
as Priests on him did call:
When they did pray he heard them well
and gave them answer all.
7 Within the cloud to them he spake,
then did they labour still,
To keep such laws as he did make,
and pointed them untill.
8 O Lord our God, thou didst them heare,
and answeredst them againe:
Thy mercy did on them appeare,
their deeds didst not maintaine.
9 O laud an dpraise our God and Lord
within his holy hill:
For why, our God throughouth the world,
is holy ever still.
Scripture: Psalm 99
Dominus regnavit
Domine exaudi
Author: N. Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: O heare my prayer Lord and let Lyrics: 1 O heare thou my prayer Lord and let
my cry come unto thee.
2 In time of trouble do hot hide,
thy face away from me.
3 Incline thine eare to me, make hast
to heare me when I call:
For as the smoke doth fade, so do,
my daies consume and fall.
4 And as an harth my bones are burnt,
my heart is smitten dead:
And withers like the grasse that I
forget to eat lay bread.
5 By reason of my groaning voice,
my bones cleave to my skin:
6 As Pelican in wildernesse,
such case now am I in.
7 And as an Owle in desart is,
Lo, I am such a one:
I watch and as a Sparrow on
the house top am alone.
8 Lo daily in reproachfull wise,
my enemies do me scorne:
And they that do against me rage,
against me they have sworne.
9 Surely with ashes as with bread,
my hunger I have fild;
And mingled have my drink with teares
that from my eyes have stild.
10 Because of thy displeasure Lord,
thy wrath and great disdaine:
For thou hast lifted me aloft,
and cast me down againe.
11 The daies wherein I passe my life,
are like the fleeting shade:
And I am wither'd like the grasse,
which soone away doth fade.
12 But thou O Lord for ever dost
remaine in steady place:
And thy remembrance ever doth
abide from race to race.
The second Part:
13 Thou wilt arise, and mercy thou
to Sion wilt extend:
The time of mercy, now the time
foreset is come to end.
14 For even in the stones thereof
thy servants do delight:
And on the dust thereof they have
compassion in their sprite.
15 Then shall the heathen people feare
the Lords most holy Name:
And all the Kings on earth shall dread
his glory and thy fame.
16 Then when the Lord the mighty God
againe shall Sion reare:
And then when he most nobly in
his glory shall appeare.
17 To prayer of the poor desolate,
when he himselfe doth bend:
When he shall not disdaine unto
their prayers to attend.
18 This shall be written for the age
that after shall succeed:
The people yet imcreated
the Lord's renown shall spread.
19 For he from his high Sancturary
hath looked downe below:
And out of heaven hath the Lord
beheld the earth also.
20 That of the mourning captive he
might heare the wofull cry:
And that he might deliver those
that damned are to die.
21 That they in Sion may declare
the Lord's most holy Name:
And in Jerusalem set forth
the praises of the same.
22 Then when the people of the lands,
and kingdomes with accord,
Shall be assembled for to do
their service to the Lord.
The third Part.
213My former force of strength he hath
abated in the way:
And shorter he hath cut my daies,
thus I therefore did say:
24 My God in midst of all my daies
now take me not away:
Thy yeares endure eternally,
from age to age I say.
25 Thou the foundations of the earth
before all time hast laid:
And Lord the heavens are the work
which thine own hands have made.
26 Yea they shall perish and decay,
but thou shalt tarry still:
And they shall all in time waxe old,
e'en as a garment will.
25 Thou as a garment shalt them change,
and changed they shall be:
But thou dost still abide the same,
thy yeares do never flee.
26 The children of thy servants shall
continually endure:
And in thy sight their happy seed
for ever shall stand sure. Scripture: Psalm 102
Domine exaudi
Dixit Dominus
Author: N. Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: The Lord did say unto my Lord Lyrics: 1 The Lord did say unto my Lord,
Sit thou on my right hand:
Till I have made thy foes a stoole
whereon thy feet shall stand.
2 The Lord shall out of Sion send
the Scepter of thy might:
Amid thy mortall foes be thou
the ruler in their sight.
3 And in the day on which thy raigne
and power they shall see:
Then hereby free-will offerings shall
the people offer thee.
Yea, with an holy worshipping
then shall they offer all:
Thy births-deaw is the deaw that does
from womb of morning fall.
4 The Lord hath sworn, and never will
repent what he doth say:
By th'order of Melchisedech
thou art a Priest for aye.
5 The Lord thy God on thy right hand
that standeth for thy stay:
Shall wound for thee the stately Kings
upon his wrathfull day.
6 The heathen he shall judge and fill
the place with bodies dead:
And over divers countries shall
in sunder smite the head.
7 And he shall drink out of the brook
that runneth in the way:
Wherefore he shall lift up on high
his royall head that day.
Scripture: Psalm 110
Dixit Dominus
